We have a tooth!!

Wyatt cut his first tooth on Saturday. Talking to one of my sisters and what is the first thing she says to me....

"So I guess you are done breastfeeding now huh?"

UM NO! I did not realize that now that he has one little tooth that he does not need to eat. We are 2 weeks shy of his half birthday and thinking of having some avocado this weekend.

This growth spurt is killing me. He is attached all day long and eating more that I can pump while I am at work. I hope it doesn't last that much longer, between the teeth and the growth spurt this mama needs a nap.

Re: We have a tooth!!

1st tooth is such a bittersweet time IME. They are getting bigger and it's exciting, but on the other hand they are getting bigger adn it's sad. And the gummy smile is no more. DD2 has 2 teeth, DD1 none. I haven't experience much biting at all and hope I never will-same to you too.

Full time working Mom to 3, DH is my hero as a SAHD:
DS July'09, nursed for 12 weeks
DD1 & DD2 April'11, tandem nursed for 16 months

Re: We have a tooth!!

I heard the same thing when my LO sprouted teeth at 8mos :P. He has been very gentle with those new chompers when nursing!

3/2011 {EBF to 6mos, now BF and BLS, CD, EC'ing since 5mos - in underwear at 11mos, and babywearing} Babywearing International has chapters - see if there's one near you... most have lending libraries!

I feel the same way. I was really excited but then I almost cried. I cant believe that he is growing up so fast.

Re: We have a tooth!!

DS got his first 2 at 3 months, so I've been hearing that for some time! Stick with it! It's not so bad. DS is now almost 9 months with 8 teeth, and he no longer bites - only an accidental scrape here and there!

Re: We have a tooth!!

my DD is almost 8 mo. and about to sprout her first tooth... I have never BF any of my children this long, so the whole teeth and breast issue kind of scares me.... I just hope she is kind to her mother!!!!
